Do those newer alternatives, especially gnupg, replace *all* the
functionality of pgp 2.6.3? Especially decrypting documents encrypted
with pgp 2.6.3? Verifying pgp 2.6.3 signatures?

For example I haven't got pgpverify for Usenet control messages to run
with gpg.

Unless it's clear that I can do all this with gnupg (of course with the
idea plugin/flavor if needed), I'd not be fond of pgp 2.6.3 being
removed.

Kind regards,

Hannah.
